They have this little swagger, they just go out there and play hard and win. They are very capable of winning big in July if they keep playing how they're are playing.
Jamal Bienemy made a lay-up with 18 seconds left to pass its toughest test for their second victory over the CG Wolves this season. Noah Thomas' three in regulation cut the lead to two and it put the Wolves winning streak in jeporadry.
The team struggled early but a second half defensive effort along with a better rebounding game by CJ Washington and Jhamon Ausbon, chipped away at what the Wolves did in the first half. Eden Holt took control of the tempo on the offensive side to put the Warriors in position to win the game.
"The one thing you have to love about this team is their disposition on the floor. No its not arrogance or cockienss, but its the focus that goes into winning on this level. They believe!"
